52 Weeks of Personal Genealogy & History - Wk 14 - Spring

Week #14 – Spring

Week 14. Spring. What was spring like where and when you grew up? Describe not only the climate, but how the season influenced your activities, food choices, etc. This challenge runs from Saturday, April 2, 2011 through Friday, April 8, 2011.

Spring is probably my favourite season. Watching the world of nature awaken from Winter and preparing to enjoy the Summer. As a child, I think that Springs were fairly mild, although I do recall one Spring, around Easter time that we had a rather heavy snow fall in the South East, which I think was fairly uncharacteristic.

Of late, we have had some really beautiful sunny days. We have adjusted our clocks to make the most of the light - loosing an hour's sleep! As the weather gets warmer, sunnier and brighter, we tend to eat lots of salads and less of the heavier, winter type meals.

I really like nothing more than to open the windows and doors onto a bright sunny day and chase away the cobwebs of winter.

About Me

I am a Surrey girl, who is very proud of her roots, which go back almost 300 years in Surrey, Sussex and Hampshire. I currently live in the West Country of England, but Surrey is always home! I am also half Italian and thus have an interest in Italian culture and genealogy.

After a career in pharmacy management spanning more than 20 years, I made the decision to look at my options as to where my professional life was heading. I wanted to expand my work portfolio within the training and writing arena; to utilise my historical and research skills along with other qualifications and years of experience. I created The Book of Me, Written by You back in the Autumn of 2012. It threads together the focus of my interests and qualifications. Enabling me to encourage others to think beyond the obvious as we analyse our own lives and those of our close family members.
